Picture this: a crispy exterior, a warm and soft interior, topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. It’s a brunch dream come true!
If you’re a breakfast enthusiast like me, you’ll agree that breakfast is the best meal of the day. And what’s a good brunch without warm waffles or fluffy pancakes, some scrambled eggs, and perhaps an Orange Julius to sip on?
So, what exactly is a Liege Waffle, you wonder? Well, it’s a type of Belgian waffle that stands out for its sweetness, thanks to the pearl sugar. The dough is thicker than your usual waffle batter, and you actually form little dough balls to cook in your waffle iron. The result? Crispy on the outside, warm and dreamy on the inside. This Liege waffle recipe is inspired by the delicious waffles you can find in Bruges, Salt Lake City, Utah!
If you’re a waffle lover, drop everything and try this recipe now. Trust me, these waffles are a game-changer. Whether you enjoy them sweet with raspberries and a powdered sugar glaze, or get creative by turning them into a dessert with ice cream and hot fudge, these waffles are a brunch or special occasion must-have.
Now, let’s talk ingredients. The best part about Liege waffles is that they’re not much harder to make than regular homemade waffles. You’ll need some instant yeast and Belgian pearl sugar, which you can find online or in stores. Oh, and don’t worry about needing a special waffle iron – your regular one will do just fine. And if you’re feeling fancy, a splash of vanilla extract can take these waffles to the next level.
Making Liege waffles is a breeze. The only extra step is activating the yeast and letting the dough rest to rise. It’s like making homemade bread – a little patience for a whole lot of deliciousness!
Once you’ve got your dough ready, heat up your waffle iron, fold in the sugar pearls, form the dough into balls, flatten them slightly, and cook until golden brown. Voila, you’ve got yourself a batch of heavenly Liege waffles!
And here are a few tips to ensure your Liege waffles turn out perfect every time. If you prefer less sweetness, you can adjust the sugar levels. Cooking time may vary based on your waffle maker, but aiming for a medium temperature for about 3-4 minutes usually does the trick. And when it comes to toppings, the sky’s the limit – from syrup and jam to Nutella and fresh fruits, these waffles are versatile and delicious on their own or as a dessert.
Storing leftovers? No problem. Cooked waffles can be refrigerated for a few days or frozen for longer storage. And if you want to prep ahead, you can store the dough in the fridge overnight before cooking.
So, there you have it – the ultimate guide to making Liege waffles. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a lazy Sunday brunch, these waffles are sure to impress. Give them a try and let the deliciousness speak for itself!
